Coriander prices fell by 0.52 per cent to Rs 12,150 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators reduced positions amidst subdued demand at the spot markets.
Besides, adequate stocks in the market on increased arrivals from producing belts put pressure on coriander prices.

The price for July declined by Rs 54, or 0.45 per cent, to Rs 11,941 per quintal with an open interest of 38,480 lots.
